I've got news for ya'll. Had a kidney stone a few years back and the last thing on my mind was sex, let alone even considering performing. Kinda hard to get it up when it feels like you've been shot in the back and side with a cannon.

You don't even want to move. Heck, I had trouble signing my name to the usual forms and what I did produce was nearly unreadable.

Maybe it's different when you're in your 20's.

I was in my late 30's when I got into a slight tiff with a couple of drunken cowboys, who thoughtfully rearranged the bones of my face for me. While the cops ran them off the road and hauled them to jail, I was in the ER getting stitched up. A few hours later the pain medications wore off and my face felt like a dump truck had rumbled over it a few times.

I didn't consider sex a viable option then either. Actually, I preferred a bottle of vodka, straight, no glass, no mixer that kind of made me forget the pain for several hours. Probably wouldn't have been able to do anything then either because too much booze can leave you willing, but the soldier goes to sleep.

Now, after I had my jaw all wired up, had some nice pain pills, the lady I had defended from the cowboys came over to see if all that steel in my mouth would affect her offer of appreciation. It didn't.

I think that most guys would find it difficult to function when in severe pain. Especially over 25 years of age. Under 25, the average male is a horndog and it might take the brutal amputation of both legs to make him consider turning down an offer.

Yeah, we all knew that, but cool story bro. Glad you made it through ok. My wife finally calls my stepmom - a nurse - she checks me out "Go to the ER NOW or I am calling an ambulance/911." So I go over there. I tell my wife "F*** it, I'm going to walk it off" I step foot in that building - heh - they have me on morphine IV within 10 minutes, calling up surgeons/anethesia guys - it is on. Wasn't the appendix. It was something called diverticulitis. I was in there a week, but no surgery.

Diverticulitis: when pouches (called diverticuli) form in the large intestine and become inflamed.

3. Antidepressants suck when it comes to sex. The right dosage will allow you to keep going for a while, but there is a hair-thin line between that and "F**k! I've been whacking it for five hours, and nothing!" I've been there, and it wasn't fun--not the act, and not talking about it with my therapist the next day.

Been there. Some keep you from finishing, others keep you from getting it up in the first place.

CSB:

GF was out of town and I was on new meds. Got horny as FARK, but could not get anything going. Extremely frustrating. Ended up rubbing it raw trying. I was off the stuff by the time she got back, but I had to explain the scab,

Fortunately she liked the "ribbed for her pleasure" effect.

Take em long enough, and it can be permanent.

I took lexapro for three days and stopped. Felt like I had drank 3 cups of coffee, but was still tired. Strange.

Usually, people complain of altered sensory perception. When i took it, colors looked brighter and i practically had to FORCE myself to eat once every 2 days. Any more, and I'd feel like i had to barf.

Try epididymitis: inflammation of the tubes in your balls that carry the sperm. I could have used some pain pills those times (plural).

A buddy had it worse, though. One time his turned out to be "testicular torsion," where the tubes get twisted up. Good thing his wife was there; he was in too much agony to even dial 911. Also, if you don't get it fixed (surgery) soon, blocked blood flow could cause permanent tissue damage.

yeah, I had no appetite at all. Which made me more tired from lack of food. Evidently, it does work for some people. No thanks.

So there's that. Sleep tight!

/but not too tight

A torsed testicle is often caused by....wait for it...crossing your legs wrong. A congenital anomoly is also a culprit...but mostly, ive seen it in kids who sit and cross their legs.

With me it was MAOI's. Made me spacey too. Then there were all the dietary restrictions to avoid a sudden stroke or DEATH:

Funny you should mention that. I just had one about 10 days ago... my libido must be too strong. I couldn't go more than 2 days without masturbation.

/TMI? It's more likely than you think.

I call BS. I luckily haven't had it myself, but everyone I know who has says it's THE worst pain imaginable.

I couldn't go more than 2 days without masturbation.

You can go without it that long? Heck, if I could just wait 'til I got home from work, I'd actually have a job to come home from.

/during a meeting is wrong?//should I not have done that?

nope, no BS. As mentioned, I have had more than one stone. They will sometimes shift into positions where the pain, though present, is significantly reduced. At which time I took the opportunity to rub one out.

/CSB onThere are two primary types, Uric Acid and Calcium Oxalate. I am genetically blessed and have had both types./CSB off

I have no idea which this last one was as I didn't hear the nifty "ptink" sound as it hit the bowl... so I must have flushed it.

1. When I have severe congestion in my sinuses, masturbation alleviates the pressure and allows me to breathe for at least ten minutes. Rinse, repeat, although at the end of the day I'm usually raw and shooting clear shots...

2. My chronic leg pain is sometimes helped with a combination ofVicodin and angry sex. Or just Vicodin and a blow job.

Venlafaxin turns John Thomas into an anesthetized log. I actually pay for reboxetin (Insurance won't cover it because some dumb study allows them to weasel out until it's disproved/retracted/shot down in a few years) but I prefer that to the worst of both worlds: you still want sex but can't ever orgasm... kinda like most women, right, ladies?

The first night I was back home after my aortic aneurysm--nearly a month in the hospital, broken ribs thanks to cracking open my chest, multiple times, and a lot more insult to the frame than most--the girlcritter and I had very, very, very careful sex. Nearly dying has that effect on folks. I couldn't walk up the stairs to the bedroom, so I slept on the daybed in the living room, but we had relations, because we sort of had to. Coming back from the dead sort of obligates you to celebrate. Even if it's not energetic...

433:Skr: Heck even penile pain has a way of causing arousement. A cut or puncture down there would cause a cartoonish fountain spray of blood.

I don't know what you mean to say about pain leading to arousement, outside of persons having a particular interest in that sort of thing. I can say, though, that a puncture in the larger veins along the shaft, flaccid or erect, does not lead to a "fountain spray of blood."

Once upon a time, I was almost lost to the needle. I did what a junkie must when a good vein is hard to find. All that happened outside of getting high was that I developed an odd little injection scar, one of a sort that never developed elsewhere on my body. Poking holes in your dick doesn't result in a fountain of blood as though released from a super-soaker - but that doesn't mean you should try it, not one bit.

tennesseemike:I had hernia surgery on a Friday afternoon, the next morning me and my girlfriend had relations.It was quite painful, but still worth it.

I had an inguinal hernia repaired and my gf would let me until I had the stitches out. She's a PT and has done wound debraidment though so she may have been right to deny me. I was all set for it though. I remember saying something to the effect of "you're going to have to keep the rubbing down there to a minimum. Up and down only."

As a man who only slowed down for a moment when a hamstring charlie horsed during sex, I believe every story of injured men still getting it on. Any man who has ever didn't bother with sex when hurt, turn in your Man card.

I have been in the mood while going through bouts of kidney stones. Not during the worst moments, where you feel like doing shotgun surgery to get rid of the thing, but during the times where it feels like someone is trying to drive a nail through your side with moderate intensity.
